Bringing History to Life
A Conversation With Authors Claudia Friddell And Kip Wilson
Holyoke Community College will host “Powerful Pairings: Bringing History to Life,” a conversation with acclaimed young adult authors Claudia Friddell and Kip Wilson.
The free event begins at 6 p.m. in the PeoplesBank Conference Room in the Kittredge Center for Business and Workforce Development on the main HCC campus, 303 Homestead Ave.
The evening will provide an engaging, behind-the-scenes look at the writing process as Friddell and Wilson talk about their latest books: The Mysterious Virginia Hall: WWII’s Most Dangerous Spy by Fridell; and Backpack Boy, Berlin, a true story of WWII espionage, by Wilson.
From the intrigue of WWII spy craft to the craft of writing for young readers, the authors will reveal how they research and build new stories and share how their experiences as educators continue to shape their work.
This program is sponsored in part by the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Eastern Region Program, and coordinated by Holyoke Community College, the Massachusetts Center for the Book, and Waynesburg University.
